Italian artist duo Art is Open Source (AOS) will present an ongoing exhibition of their latest project, REFF (RomaEuropaFakeFactory). REFF presents itself as a fake institution, designing crafted applications and invasive practices; a book; an urban performance; and an augmented reality drug that creates alternative, stratified, mashed-ups, remixed worlds. In the AOS scenario the drug reinvents reality and the artists are "pushers", distributing an illegal substance around the world.
Alongside the augmented world of REFF, the exhibition will showcase works by Garrett Lynch, Rebar Group and Eleonora Oreggia aka XNAME, included in the REFF publication. The exhibition will be accompanied by a series of live performances, events and urban interventions across London and around the world.
